Michaelsoft Binbows
This photo of a Japanese used PC and computer parts shop has been making the rounds on the internet recently. It is not just a cheap rip-off of Microsoft Windows – the word ‘binbo’ （貧乏）in Japanese means ‘poor’, so the bilingual pun works on a promotional level as well (to sell their ‘ultra-cheap’ computer parts as the characters on the far left signify).
The Winblows Windows logo is just an inverted version of their old logo, so this shop sign may not be around for too much longer if MS can help it.
Found in a recent post from The Consumerist. Location in Japan unknown.

The sign may come down, but the legend will live on forever.
Do they have any skanks?
I’ll stick with Mapple Compoopers, thanks.
ROFLMAO!
